Diana Dors: Calico

Quotes 

• Johnny Mansell : Just... play the game with Dave.

  Calico : Why shouldn't I?

  Johnny Mansell : You know how it is. Some women are mercenary.

  Calico : So are some men. He can look after himself.

  Johnny Mansell : He's blinded by you, Calico. He's not your style. He can't give you the life you're hungry for.

  Calico : Can you?

  Johnny Mansell : I've no diamond watches up *my* sleeve.

• Calico : You can say what you like to me but you can't change me, and you can't hurt me. I've no pride where you're concerned and I don't give up easily. Remember, I come from a slum. From the gutter where it's quite a step up even to the pavement. I never had a home. I never had a father my mother could put a name to. I never had a thing. Until one day I found that I was attractive to the opposite sex. I discovered my legs weren't made just to stand on. I had one talent. Most people haven't got any. So I used that talent, and I got tough. I never loved anyone until you came along. I was never unfaithful to anyone in my life. Because I never had anyone to be unfaithful to.
